Anemia
Overview

Anemia is a condition where the amount of hemoglobin in the blood is below the normal level, or there are fewer red blood cells than normal.
It’s worth noting the different types of Anemia as each one has a different cause, with iron deficiency being the most common form of the illness.
Anemia can also be caused by lack of Vitamin B12 or folate in the body.
Iron Deficiency Anemia – The main symptoms are tiredness and lethargy, resulting in a lack of energy, but other symptoms include shortness of breath, or changes in the appearance (such as a pale complexion and dry nails). If the cause is slow loss of blood, there may not be any symptoms at all.
Iron deficiency Anemia occurs when there isn’t enough iron (found in meat, dried fruit and some veg) in the body. If the illness is left untreated it can make the sufferer more susceptible to illness and infection, as a lack of iron affects the immune system. Take a look at the Causes section of this report for more.
In some cases, severe iron deficiency anemia may increase the risk of the patient developing complications which affect the lungs, such as tachycardia (an abnormally fast heartbeat) and heart failure.
Pregnant woman will also have a higher risk of complications before and after birth.
A number of things can trigger Anemia, including the following:
Active bleeding – Loss of blood as a result of heavy menstrual bleeding or wounds can cause the illness. Cancer of the colon and gastrointestinal ulcers can also cause Anemia.
Iron deficiency – If iron intake is limited or inadequate due to poor dietary intake, Anemia may be the result. This condition can also occur when stomach ulcers or other sources of slow chronic bleeding are present.
Chronic disease – Any long-term condition can lead to the condition, but while the exact mechanism of this process is as yet unknown, any long-standing medical condition like chronic infection or cancer may cause Anemia
Kidney disease – The kidneys release a hormone called the erythropoietin, which helps the bone marrow make red blood cells. This hormone is diminished in people with chronic kidney disease or end stage renal disease and this diminishes the production of red blood cells, which results in Anemia.
Pregnancy – Fluid gain and water weight during pregnancy dilutes the blood, which may be reflected as Anemia since the concentration of red blood cells is lower.
Poor nutrition/Vegetarianism – As well as iron, vitamin B12 and folate (folic acid) are needed for the proper production of haemoglobin. Poor diet is an important cause of low folate and low vitamin B12 levels. Strict vegetarians who do not take sufficient vitamins are also at risk of developing vitamin B12 deficiency.
Pernicious Anemia – A problem in the stomach or intestines can lead to a poor absorption of Vitamin B12, which may lead to Anemia.
Sickle cell Anemia – The problem can be related to production of abnormal haemoglobin molecules, which can cause problems in the integrity of the red blood cell structure and they may become crescent-shaped. Sickle cell Anemia may be quite severe and is typically hereditary, though it is more common in those of African, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean ancestry.

Supplements:
Try iron supplements which boost the low levels of iron in the body, which is usually effective. Make sure you’re monitored every few months to check if the treatment is working and to see if your iron levels have returned to normal.
